She didn't use the Finger-slaying-blade to kill Marika, she uses it to kill the fingers that chose her as an Empyrean, the ones you find destroyed when you put the ring on her.
@@Pikachu-qr4ybthe reason why she wanted the fingerslayer blade is to ocmpletely cut ties with the golden order(aka killing the fingers assigned to her), we helped her along the way mainly when killing the baleful shadow.
@@Pikachu-qr4yb The weapon she wanted from the beginning, your whole quest originally, was to get the *Fingerslayer* Blade. The blade's description reads that it's able to bring harm "to the Greater Will and its vassals", A.K.A. the Two Fingers. Upon running into the Baleful Shadow at the end of the Ranni escort mission, she says to the Shadow Blaidd "Tell the Two Fingers, That Ranni the Witch cometh, *to rend thy flesh. With a fatal wound, ne'er to heal."* We can also deduce that she turned into a small doll version of herself to become more difficult to detect by her Two Fingers, causing her to leave her clothing behind in Renna's Rise, before taking the teleporter at the top of Renna's Rise, which is where we then find her, and why you later find her in her normal puppet-size form sitting next to her DEAD Two Fingers, without her Snow Witch outfit (because you have it).
I just realized Alexander says "you came" after saying "smack me on the rear with something nice and big". I never realized his predatory nature. Thank you dark tark, for opening my eyes yet again.
i thought she was chill because people said she was. i got a quest prompt from her and was like, cool, ok. but the way shes wording her sentence and the way shes saying it was kind of sussy. but elden ring people are weird, we have a blue witch doll that talks in a sexy old language so whatever, right? turns out that its D's knife, so i go tell fia, but she has nothing to say. later i go to the smithy and notice a new door opened. she peaced out after breaking the law of the round table. i hardly knew D but for a short time, but hes kinda chill. if i find wherever the fuck she went, i'll send her to the ferry of the dammed so she can molest the dead there, on her way to hell!
It’s crazy because as someone who did do this quest, I was instead guided by sorcerer rogier, I didn’t want to become a simp for ranni, but rather I did it for rogier’s sake, he was telling me how it’s a dangerous ordeal to conspire with her, but that it might be worth it, I thought that we were two scheming and shady partners in crime benefitting off of this weird sans-eyed witch lady, but he died if covid shortly after i joined her and i was on my own 😭😭😭
Bro think about it. You're the Elden Lord and Ranni is a God. You think she wouldn't pull some strings and bring back your bro Rogier for you? It's like that Erdtree Burial, bro, friggin' force ghosts and shit. No one's ever really gone. Like damn even Godwyn isn't even all dead. Worst case Rog' has to come back as a puppet, but it seems to work out okay for Sellen and I-Swear-I'm-Renna. Bro you and Big Hat Papa will be kickin' it in a pimped out Hold in no time.

@Ahmad Adnan That ain't really true. You swear loyalty to her, but you're never under her control, seeing as you can still chose to do other endings instead of hers even when joining her service, unlike the Frenzy Flame one. And if you don't join her and attack her instead, everything you do bounces off of her, one of the only instances in the game where you can't kill a character no matter what
@ahmadadnan4773 She killed her own Two Fingers with her bare hands, and presumably got through the Lake of Rot and beyond to where you find her, on her own. She needed help with Shadow Blaidd, but she _was_ in a small doll form. Remember that the entire second phase of the Rennala fight *was not Rennala.* That was a projection of Rennala conjured by Ranni during the fight, which she cast all the way from her tower on the Three Sisters plateau. Shows a glimpse of Ranni's power.
You missed the best part, if you go back to her tower and go to the top and talk with her after you complete her questline, you’ll get the ending with her saying “Dear consort” instead of “Fair consort”. Oh well, I guess you’ll have to play it again to do it right.
I hope in the DLC they add some of the plants from plants vs zombies to the game it would be a really cool crossover since Ranni is basically Crazy Dave

I'm pretty sure Ranni's ending is an age where the people make their own decisions without influence from the outer gods, hence why you both leave. From what I've heard the translation from Japanese to English made it sound worse than it actually was.
Yeah, a world where people don't see the divine with their own eyes, where they will be left with just questions and doubts. But also a world where the divine won't directly interfere with their lives, and isn't a prize for them to fight over. Mortals will be left with no guidance, but a chance to make their own decisions.
Ranni was more or less a Sartre fan in the sense established a more existentialist system where people find their own meaning rather than it be administered by grand outside forces.
That or the Dark Moon outer god had her punk the Greater Will during their game of poker and then Ranni and the Tarnished create a new order and kingdom in space.
Small adjustment, the cursemark doesn't unlock Renna's rise. It automatically unlocks when Ranni goes to Nokstella to continue her journey. I know this because I have no sense of continuity and got the cursemark while I was taking a break from fighting good ol void boy. Your content is hilarious, keep it up
Yeah the cursemark isn't even a part of Ranni's quest, it's just that doing the death questline has you working with Ranni and instead of giving you the statue as a random gift she gives it to you saying "this will take you to what you're looing for" it was really interesting hearing the difference between serving her because you have to compared to when you want to
It is interesting to see how the lore ties together, Ranni has you evade taxes and oil spills, while Maliketh evades the topic of returning my damn lawnmower
Correction: The Baleful Shadow you fought wasn't Blaidd, Iji trapped Blaidd in the evergaol Darwin was caged in and you can head there and confirm when Radahn is defeated
Plus, while the shadow uses the same weapons and armor, it's blade has destined death imbued into it, whereas Balidd's normally has frost, further suggesting the two are entirely different people. Plus, once you complete Ranni's quest(the specific requirements are a bit unclear, ranging from picking up the Dark Moon Greatsword, to only needing you to walk through the barrier in Astel's boss arena that is unlocked by the Dark Moon ring)you can return to find Blaidd having defended Ranni's rise from Black Knife Assassins, but he's gone mad and attacks you, even if you never let him out of the Evergoal. If you speak with Iji after finding Blaidd in the Evergaol, he tells you that some Empyreans are given Shadows that are entirely unable to betray their master. But, in the case that an Empyrean resists the Two Fingers, their shadow will go mad, implying that the powerful shadow is meant to then kill the Empyrean to prevent any threat to the Greater Will from happening. But Blaidd, being the goodest boy that he is, is still able to hold himself together and know that he must protect and serve Ranni no matter what, he just tragically becomes unable to recognize you as an ally and attacks, thinking you are a threat to her. Ranni mentions that the assassins of the Two Fingers are the Baleful ShadowS, plural, meaning that they must just have a lab full of test tube furry babies to wake up and send out on missions when needed. Blaidd just happened to be given so early in Ranni's life that he developed a genuine bond with her, so when the brainwashing kicks in, he can resist it and not hunt her down, forcing them to send the backups.
The only real furry in The Lands Between is Dung Eater. Not only does he imitate an Omen (his armor is literally an Omen fursuit), but he tries to make that everyone is blessed with an Omen curse.
@@4Roman204 let me solo her is actually a Cosplay of jawright a day 1 puppet . Except he added uchi and rivers . But yea fromsoft basically did it first
You can get to Ainsel River Main via a coffin in Deeproot Depths too. That’s how I got there the first time, just to go to Renna’s Rise and teleport straight back
Guessing that most players wouldn't care because of their love for Ranni is right, but some of us most players don't care because we're attracted to the Darkmoon blade and loyally committed
Every single video you have posted since the dung eater is just a masterpiece, i find myself watching them 3 or 4 times just to see if missed any edit, love your stuff!
I got the Ranni ending without even realizing what I was doing. Sometimes I didn't get to play for a whole week and that's just about long enough for me to forget what going on in the game. Basically I just wandered around fought stuff until I got to the end and there was a blue summons for Ranni. Okay, you're welcome Ranni but I still don't know who you are or what you want.
Same first playthrough I did the whole ranni questline basically by accident then accidently ran into a place called forsaken depths and got a little too curious lol.
You are genuinely the first RUclipsr that has made me laugh out loud in years. I’m super stressed right now because of finals but man you really make life easier. You and your content are hilarious and amazing. Thank you.
Good video, even though I think there was a bit missing in regards to Blaidd. When you go to Nokron, you can find a message at the hole. The figure of Blaidd shows up and reads something like 'there's a traitor taken care of. Don't wait for me, head to Nokron. I'll catch up.' Then go to Iji, you can ask where Blaidd is. Iji will tell you that Blaidd has something else to do. Go back to the Forlorn Hound Evergaol. You'll hear a howl and Blaidd will tell you that Iji put him in there. He doesn't know why but wants you to release him. Go back to Iji and ask him why Blaidd is locked away. He will then tell you that he thinks Blaidd is a threat to Ranni. Also the Blaidd mask you can find behind Seluvis' Rise (?) says that the assassins sent for Ranni masked as Blaidd, so I don't think the baleful shadow was Blaidd, but what Ranni said. An assassin sent by the Two Fingers to kill her.
Vaati has been real quite lately mostly because these videos go very hard and are actually canon and are true. Thanks for the lore m8. Can’t wait for the next one titled “What’s The Deal With Farum Azula?”
So anyone else think that maybe one of the reasons a lot of people choose to go with Ranni ending is because one of the first things you are told is you don't have a maiden? I know most players chose Ranni end from a pole I participated in, but it would be funny if there was a sort of subliminal message to pick it
It also is a proper questline. Default ending is just kill bosses in your path to end the game. Dungeater and Fia are harder to follow. Goldmask requires specific build (or respec) and doesn't feel like it is going to affect ending or.. anything.
Honestly I think most people pick it, as it’s portrayed as the most “correct” or at least the most “appealing” ending. A long/fleshed out questline, “happiest ending” (debatable), Moonlight sword (one of the best and most iconic weapons of the franchise), interesting/lovable side characters (Blaidd, Iji), locked/hidden areas (that may take longer to reach or impossible otherwise), and of course marriage. With as much effort that fromsoft put into Ranni’s questline, I really believe they intended it to be the canon one. I personally only did it for the sweet, sweet items though and could care less about Ranni herself.
I loved her questline and the NPCs involved. By the end of it I was incredibly emotionally attached to a good portion of them and had experienced a solid portion of the game through her quests. 10/10 would recommend
I'm surprised not everyone knows of "flame, cleanse me" it's an incantation cures all debuffs, all of them, simply equipo that and your favorite casting item and you can go through any posion/blight/etc. infested area easily. Works better if you have more fp.
So Miyazaki both knows players loathe poison swamps, but he "can't help himself" and he "suddenly realised I'm in the middle of making one". "It just happens". (17:43)
Bruh, this is literally the best elsen ring lore video I've seen. I realised i only did like 10% of rannis questline stuff so thats why it felt so rushed. Everyone speaks in riddles so i zone out and end up skipping a lot of stuff lol.
But did you get your lawnmower back? More seriously good video and memes, some point to correct however: 1 The bateful shadow is not blaidd but an assassin send by the two finger who disguised himself as blaidd (you can find his black wolf mask). 2 Ranni use the fingerslayer blade to kill her designed two finger, the one who washed his hand too many times. Thus allowing her to be freed of her fate designed by the greater will, being the next vessel for the elden beast. But allowing her to enact her fate as a carian and daugther of Rennala of the full moon, and being able to free marika from her fate and yeeting all outer gods from the lands between and shielding the lands between of their influence. And finally, getting herself among the stars with her consort (you lucky fellow) to put the fight to the outer gods, kicking their asses in their own realm. 3 One important part, it is Marika herself who sent the black knifes assassins to kill Godwyn, probably to enact her galaxybrain plan to free Ranni's influence of the greater will, free Melania (her secret daughter) influence of the greater will as well, allowing Godfrey to burn the Erdtree later with the help of Melania and killing Maliketh, Radagon and the Elden Beast, negating the influence of the greater will, maybe she even expected Ranni to enact her destiny, freeing the lands between from all outer gods influence forever. Problem, you did it and not Godfrey as it was planned.
First two points are absolutely correct but what are the sources for the third point? We know Marika is Radagon (though they had differing plans apparently), but from what we know I thought that Marika seemed distraught over Godwyn's death?
It is stated that the Black Knife Assassins had close ties to Marika, and hailed from the same land of the Numen. Though it is never explicitly stated that she was involved with the death of Godwyn, it could be the case. Marika was certainly pulling a lot of strings and directing events behind the scenes in many aspects, but I don’t know about that one.
I love your style of talking. It's really chill, and somehow still manages to be hilarious and entertaining. I can totally just chill with some chips and watch your vids.
Simple explained: The deal with Ranni is, do her Quest to get her stuff, then bless the world with the fell curse in the dung eaters name. Defile them with care
The first version of Blaidd you fight is actually a desguised assassin, the reason Iji imprisioned Blaidd was to stop him from going crazy like he did the second time you fight him.
I'm probably making this my go-to ending just like I made lord of hollows my go-to in ds3 because by comparison Ranni's story/ending feels so much more unique than the other options in the game
-hear's KH Virtual Twilight Town battle theme in background while still 4mins in video- "Wait, why is this in there?" -realized it fits for breaking the fourth wall quickly like meeting Ranni sooner as Roxanne figured he's in virtual simulation-
The english dub and sub of Ranni's questline has a lot of errors, which may lead to think that her ending is bad, when it's actually pretty good and selfless
I mean, the English voice lines are the OG, right? Hard to know which parts were written originally in Japanese vs English (since GRRM helped writing the script). So for all we know the Japanese subs might be wrong / more ambiguous.
For those who don't know. Picking up the cursemark of death does NOT unlock the tower. Simply giving her the finger slayer blade, exhausting her dialogue and then reloading the area does. You can go the whole quest without EVER using the Carian Inverted statue.
I got her ending yesterday and it was so fun and worth it. Took me about 13 hours to complete. Blaidds great sword is so OP I honestly like it better than the dark moon great sword
This game has so much shit. When he said there was more to Nokron, I thought he was gonna mention that you can light the flames in the forest to fight that deer boss. I had no clue that there was an entire other city you can access for another whole quest line.
Shortly before you fight the baleful shadow Ranni says "but now the cat is out of the bag". I think it speaks to her character that after all this time she doesn't know what animal Blaidd is.
Her quest line is also mistranslated. Basically, she takes the greater will to fly around space so it cant control the lands between anymore. She is the true hero.
This is false. The translation is done by professionals and is translated for sense. It is not a literal translation. Ranni's ending is still worse than the Age of Perfect Order.
i beat the tower thing with the lady who runs before fighting and didnt need to do it to unlock rennas tower, and i didnt get the thing at the top or her clothes, i beat radahn before i even met ranni and i never spoke to seluvis. I still got the same ending tho
Hey, dunno if this has been said already but when picking up the Ranni doll and resting at the grace. You need to talk to the doll three times, then it will trigger a dialogue sequence.
When a video is so good that when I was going to hit the like buttom I realize I've already hited it some time ago. Watching for the 2nd time and still enjoying it.

I prefer Rannis questline over Dungeater.
Because dung is poo, and poo is disgusting. Man, I hate poo.
Poo comes from the butt. Men have butts. Therefore, you do dungeater quest
If you hate poo, why do you always carry it with you?
@@Kaedevirus it's their curse. to always carry what they hate. like poo.
Yes but Ranni is a doll and dolls are weird murderers
I prefer dung eater because Ranni is a woman
Small adjustment, the cursemark doesn't unlock Renna's rise. It automatically unlocks when Ranni goes to Nokstella to continue her journey. I know this because I have no sense of continuity and got the cursemark while I was taking a break from fighting good ol void boy. Your content is hilarious, keep it up
Also... Blaidd's head is actually his own. He's not wearing a mask.
Yeah the cursemark isn't even a part of Ranni's quest, it's just that doing the death questline has you working with Ranni and instead of giving you the statue as a random gift she gives it to you saying "this will take you to what you're looing for" it was really interesting hearing the difference between serving her because you have to compared to when you want to
It is interesting to see how the lore ties together, Ranni has you evade taxes and oil spills, while Maliketh evades the topic of returning my damn lawnmower
Correction: The Baleful Shadow you fought wasn't Blaidd, Iji trapped Blaidd in the evergaol Darwin was caged in and you can head there and confirm when Radahn is defeated
Plus, while the shadow uses the same weapons and armor, it's blade has destined death imbued into it, whereas Balidd's normally has frost, further suggesting the two are entirely different people.
Plus, once you complete Ranni's quest(the specific requirements are a bit unclear, ranging from picking up the Dark Moon Greatsword, to only needing you to walk through the barrier in Astel's boss arena that is unlocked by the Dark Moon ring)you can return to find Blaidd having defended Ranni's rise from Black Knife Assassins, but he's gone mad and attacks you, even if you never let him out of the Evergoal. If you speak with Iji after finding Blaidd in the Evergaol, he tells you that some Empyreans are given Shadows that are entirely unable to betray their master. But, in the case that an Empyrean resists the Two Fingers, their shadow will go mad, implying that the powerful shadow is meant to then kill the Empyrean to prevent any threat to the Greater Will from happening. But Blaidd, being the goodest boy that he is, is still able to hold himself together and know that he must protect and serve Ranni no matter what, he just tragically becomes unable to recognize you as an ally and attacks, thinking you are a threat to her.
Ranni mentions that the assassins of the Two Fingers are the Baleful ShadowS, plural, meaning that they must just have a lab full of test tube furry babies to wake up and send out on missions when needed. Blaidd just happened to be given so early in Ranni's life that he developed a genuine bond with her, so when the brainwashing kicks in, he can resist it and not hunt her down, forcing them to send the backups.
@@Late0NightPC I'd like to find out what Melenia and Miquella's Shadows are like
Honestly, your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Every upload goes hard, looking forward to the next one
What I love is that blaidd isn’t actually a furry is is literally a wolf man
isn’t that just the ultimate furry though, like Furry GX, Secret Rare Furry
The only real furry in The Lands Between is Dung Eater. Not only does he imitate an Omen (his armor is literally an Omen fursuit), but he tries to make that everyone is blessed with an Omen curse.
Loving these lore videos. I'm wondering when the Soldier of Godrick lore video drops.
Deepest lore dive in the game tbh
14:27 after trying to talk her 3 times, she actually response back and explain her goal.
“Married to the grind” is my favourite moment
The dragonkin boss fight in the siofra river well can actually be reached by one of the warp gates you can't only reach it by descending the bridge.
It is somewhat hidden tho as it's up a column in an area with vikings who will be shooting at you. So I understand why a decent bit of people miss it.
I’m just now realising that Seluvis has a puppet that looks exactly like let me solo her.
He who started the puppet revolution, before leaving to find Malenia, blade of Miquella, with the deaths of Seluvis and Pidia… the legend himself.
I wonder if it was there before the latest update or Fromsoft put it there as a nod of appreciation.
@@4Roman204 let me solo her is actually a Cosplay of jawright a day 1 puppet . Except he added uchi and rivers . But yea fromsoft basically did it first
@@ephemeralnihilist plot twist: his backstory is being a doll created to kill malenia
You can get to Ainsel River Main via a coffin in Deeproot Depths too. That’s how I got there the first time, just to go to Renna’s Rise and teleport straight back
Damn, for me it was the opposite. I defeated the valiant gargoyles and found the coffin that brought me to the deeproot depths
@@SirCrusher Me too, I didn't even know there was another way.
Guessing that most players wouldn't care because of their love for Ranni is right, but some of us most players don't care because we're attracted to the Darkmoon blade and loyally committed
I did it for Blaidd, since he's such a good boi.
In version 1.0 the darkmoon greatsword is actually dogwater, but now that i've updated my game its my fav weapon
It's probably the best and most powerful "Moonlight Greatsword" in all the souls
Damn, your vids are useful, full of lore and full of those sound effects i freaking love
Unironically I did find ijis voice very soothing and came to love him as a character
Every single video you have posted since the dung eater is just a masterpiece, i find myself watching them 3 or 4 times just to see if missed any edit, love your stuff!
I got the Ranni ending without even realizing what I was doing. Sometimes I didn't get to play for a whole week and that's just about long enough for me to forget what going on in the game. Basically I just wandered around fought stuff until I got to the end and there was a blue summons for Ranni. Okay, you're welcome Ranni but I still don't know who you are or what you want.
Don't worry about it, the blue gash is worth it either way.

i wait with baited breath for a "Whats the deal with goldmask"
Good video, even though I think there was a bit missing in regards to Blaidd. When you go to Nokron, you can find a message at the hole. The figure of Blaidd shows up and reads something like 'there's a traitor taken care of. Don't wait for me, head to Nokron. I'll catch up.' Then go to Iji, you can ask where Blaidd is. Iji will tell you that Blaidd has something else to do. Go back to the Forlorn Hound Evergaol. You'll hear a howl and Blaidd will tell you that Iji put him in there. He doesn't know why but wants you to release him. Go back to Iji and ask him why Blaidd is locked away. He will then tell you that he thinks Blaidd is a threat to Ranni.
Also the Blaidd mask you can find behind Seluvis' Rise (?) says that the assassins sent for Ranni masked as Blaidd, so I don't think the baleful shadow was Blaidd, but what Ranni said. An assassin sent by the Two Fingers to kill her.
Another epic masterpiece from the new lore master. That Silent Hill 2 music was the perfect addition 👌
"Like all beautiful and mysterious creatures in From Software games, you kill it dead."
Vaati has been real quite lately mostly because these videos go very hard and are actually canon and are true. Thanks for the lore m8. Can’t wait for the next one titled “What’s The Deal With Farum Azula?”
“Actually canon and true” 😂
Ffs, I just got to Nokron and now every time I see a blob all I can think about is "BP oil spills"
This video is literally better then any quest guide ever. It’s legit so detailed, not boring and entertaining
19:07 It was probably the Nameless Eternal City, the third underground city that is destroyed and has no stars. You find it the Deeproot Depths
When you reach that place "This is my kingdom come" starts playing on loop.
So anyone else think that maybe one of the reasons a lot of people choose to go with Ranni ending is because one of the first things you are told is you don't have a maiden? I know most players chose Ranni end from a pole I participated in, but it would be funny if there was a sort of subliminal message to pick it
It also is a proper questline. Default ending is just kill bosses in your path to end the game. Dungeater and Fia are harder to follow. Goldmask requires specific build (or respec) and doesn't feel like it is going to affect ending or.. anything.
I just really like the sword
Honestly I think most people pick it, as it’s portrayed as the most “correct” or at least the most “appealing” ending.
A long/fleshed out questline, “happiest ending” (debatable), Moonlight sword (one of the best and most iconic weapons of the franchise), interesting/lovable side characters (Blaidd, Iji), locked/hidden areas (that may take longer to reach or impossible otherwise), and of course marriage.
With as much effort that fromsoft put into Ranni’s questline, I really believe they intended it to be the canon one.
I personally only did it for the sweet, sweet items though and could care less about Ranni herself.
I loved her questline and the NPCs involved. By the end of it I was incredibly emotionally attached to a good portion of them and had experienced a solid portion of the game through her quests. 10/10 would recommend
In my first play-through I legitimately almost cried when i saw Iji dead like that.
I've been absolutely adoring your Elden Ring content. One of the only channels that makes me laugh nowadays, keep it up.
fun fact: in Hindi "ranni" translate to queen
"tasked me to hangout with my bestfriend" made me laugh so hard lol
The Ranni doll is water resistant, so you can take it in the shower by the way.
E
I love how you basically give us a lore dump and a tutorial on how to do the quest line all while making it as memey as possible lmao
From humor to editing, everything about this was hilarious
Dude I can't wait to see what memes you'll use when Fia T-poses her way out of the roundtable hold
I'm surprised not everyone knows of "flame, cleanse me" it's an incantation cures all debuffs, all of them, simply equipo that and your favorite casting item and you can go through any posion/blight/etc. infested area easily. Works better if you have more fp.
The deadpan delivery does it for me
I have come back to watch this video multiple times, it’s so good and funny! That’s canon, it’s in the lore.
I love the fact that this video is basically a walkthrough to Ranni's Quest
Great work!! 🌠

Bruh, this is literally the best elsen ring lore video I've seen. I realised i only did like 10% of rannis questline stuff so thats why it felt so rushed. Everyone speaks in riddles so i zone out and end up skipping a lot of stuff lol.
But did you get your lawnmower back?
More seriously good video and memes, some point to correct however:
1 The bateful shadow is not blaidd but an assassin send by the two finger who disguised himself as blaidd (you can find his black wolf mask).
2 Ranni use the fingerslayer blade to kill her designed two finger, the one who washed his hand too many times. Thus allowing her to be freed of her fate designed by the greater will, being the next vessel for the elden beast. But allowing her to enact her fate as a carian and daugther of Rennala of the full moon, and being able to free marika from her fate and yeeting all outer gods from the lands between and shielding the lands between of their influence. And finally, getting herself among the stars with her consort (you lucky fellow) to put the fight to the outer gods, kicking their asses in their own realm.
3 One important part, it is Marika herself who sent the black knifes assassins to kill Godwyn, probably to enact her galaxybrain plan to free Ranni's influence of the greater will, free Melania (her secret daughter) influence of the greater will as well, allowing Godfrey to burn the Erdtree later with the help of Melania and killing Maliketh, Radagon and the Elden Beast, negating the influence of the greater will, maybe she even expected Ranni to enact her destiny, freeing the lands between from all outer gods influence forever. Problem, you did it and not Godfrey as it was planned.
First two points are absolutely correct but what are the sources for the third point? We know Marika is Radagon (though they had differing plans apparently), but from what we know I thought that Marika seemed distraught over Godwyn's death?
Man, the second point essentially is just bloodborne. But you start as a god that hunts other bigger gods.
The first two points are correct but where did you come up with the third point
Are you high on Elden Lean ? That third point is complete madness 🤣
It is stated that the Black Knife Assassins had close ties to Marika, and hailed from the same land of the Numen. Though it is never explicitly stated that she was involved with the death of Godwyn, it could be the case. Marika was certainly pulling a lot of strings and directing events behind the scenes in many aspects, but I don’t know about that one.
Why is this the best guide for Rannis quest acceptable anywhere on the Internet
The true prepare to cry is that malekith never gave back the lawnmower. Can't have shit in the lands in between.
I love your style of talking. It's really chill, and somehow still manages to be hilarious and entertaining. I can totally just chill with some chips and watch your vids.
Simple explained:
The deal with Ranni is, do her Quest to get her stuff, then bless the world with the fell curse in the dung eaters name.
Defile them with care
Your Elden Ring videos are incredible and hilarious! Keep up the great work!
The first version of Blaidd you fight is actually a desguised assassin, the reason Iji imprisioned Blaidd was to stop him from going crazy like he did the second time you fight him.
Time for another banger

Well, you can turn him into a doll. And it is heavily implied that Selvius… has… his way with them soooooooooooo whats stopping you?
Seluvis made a doll of 2 of the most powerful beings in the game:
Ranni and Letmesoloher
I think rhaani ending is the best for the main character,lack of any responsibility does miracles
my mom saw the part where you massacre minecraft villagers and she chuckled and said "hehe what is that? legos on fire?"
I'm probably making this my go-to ending just like I made lord of hollows my go-to in ds3 because by comparison Ranni's story/ending feels so much more unique than the other options in the game
-hear's KH Virtual Twilight Town battle theme in background while still 4mins in video-
"Wait, why is this in there?"
-realized it fits for breaking the fourth wall quickly like meeting Ranni sooner as Roxanne figured he's in virtual simulation-
The english dub and sub of Ranni's questline has a lot of errors, which may lead to think that her ending is bad, when it's actually pretty good and selfless
I mean, the English voice lines are the OG, right? Hard to know which parts were written originally in Japanese vs English (since GRRM helped writing the script). So for all we know the Japanese subs might be wrong / more ambiguous.
For those who don't know. Picking up the cursemark of death does NOT unlock the tower. Simply giving her the finger slayer blade, exhausting her dialogue and then reloading the area does. You can go the whole quest without EVER using the Carian Inverted statue.
I got her ending yesterday and it was so fun and worth it. Took me about 13 hours to complete. Blaidds great sword is so OP I honestly like it better than the dark moon great sword
I subbed when I cracked up about the Brad Pitt and George Clooney merge underlined with the PS1 starting sound
I hope you resume this series. I really wanna see what happens with Fia’s questline’s ending
It hasn't happened yet but he doesn't know how good that reference will be
This game has so much shit. When he said there was more to Nokron, I thought he was gonna mention that you can light the flames in the forest to fight that deer boss. I had no clue that there was an entire other city you can access for another whole quest line.
there are two deer bosses in that area!

Shortly before you fight the baleful shadow Ranni says "but now the cat is out of the bag". I think it speaks to her character that after all this time she doesn't know what animal Blaidd is.
Her quest line is also mistranslated. Basically, she takes the greater will to fly around space so it cant control the lands between anymore. She is the true hero.
This is false. The translation is done by professionals and is translated for sense. It is not a literal translation. Ranni's ending is still worse than the Age of Perfect Order.
